DC woman accused of trying to flush newborn son down toilet

Federal prosecutors have indicted a Washington woman who is accused of strangling, drowning and dismembering her newborn son after giving birth to him in a bathtub.

Prosecutors say 24-year-old Lillian Alvarado never told her family she was pregnant and tried to flush the partially dismembered infant down the toilet inside her family's apartment in northwest Washington in November 2013.
